Re: Got kicked out of my flight school today

Go to school and take your PTR. If for any reason they refuse giving it to you advise them that you will report them to TC.

Re: Avionics standard practice and technical exam

Is there any way of self-studying for AME E license and then passing required exams with TC? Assume I have an AMO who is willing to let me work for them to complete required 48 month practice.
Thank you.
